WHEELCHAIR FIXING DEVICE AND WHEELCHAIR FIXING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240225927 titled 'WHEELCHAIR FIXING DEVICE AND WHEELCHAIR FIXING SYSTEM

The abstract describes a wheelchair fixing device that includes a support member, a slide shaft, lock arms, switch arm mechanisms, and lock switches to drive the drive mechanism and move the slide shaft in the backward direction.

Support member provided on a base member to support the drive mechanism
Lock arms on both sides of the base member to pin down the fixing bar of the wheelchair
Lock arms turn downward to pin down the fixing bar when the slide shaft moves backward
Lock arms turn upward to release pinning down of the fixing bar when the slide shaft moves forward
Switch arm mechanisms turn due to being pressed by the fixing bar of the wheelchair
Lock switches drive the drive mechanism when pressed by the switch arm mechanisms

Potential Applications: - Wheelchair repair and maintenance services - Medical equipment manufacturing industry

Problems Solved: - Secure fixing of wheelchair components - Ease of maintenance and repair for wheelchair users

Benefits: - Improved wheelchair stability - Simplified wheelchair maintenance process

Commercial Applications: Title: "Wheelchair Fixing Device for Enhanced Stability and Maintenance" This technology can be used in wheelchair repair shops, medical equipment manufacturing companies, and healthcare facilities to enhance wheelchair stability and simplify maintenance processes.

Questions about Wheelchair Fixing Device:

1. How does the lock arm mechanism work in securing the fixing bar of the wheelchair? The lock arms turn downward to pin down the fixing bar when the slide shaft moves backward, ensuring a secure fixing.

2. What are the potential applications of this wheelchair fixing device? This device can be used in wheelchair repair and maintenance services, as well as in the medical equipment manufacturing industry.

Original Abstract Submitted

a wheelchair fixing device includes a support member that is provided on a base member and supports the drive mechanism, a slide shaft, a pair of lock arms that is provided on both sides of the base member, the lock arms being configured to turn toward a downward side and to pin down a fixing bar of the wheelchair due to the slide shaft moving in the backward direction, and being configured to turn toward the upward side and to release pinning down of the fixing bar due to the slide shaft moving in the advancing direction, a pair of switch arm mechanisms configured to turn due to being pressed by the fixing bar of the wheelchair, and lock switches configured to drive the drive mechanism by being pressed by the switch arm mechanisms, such that the slide shaft is moved in the backward direction.
